Let’s Play

Youth sports should be fun for everyone!

I help parents trade pressure for presence, so kids can thrive on and off the court. Let’s build stronger athletes, better teams, and deeper family connections!

Starting with you.

Meet Jane

Whether it was soccer, basketball, softball, volleyball, or track & field, I’ve always loved to play. From my first soccer game at age 8 to my final volleyball match as a Texas Longhorn, my understanding of competition and sportsmanship has grown through experience, reflection, and study.

At Raising the Game, I help parents support their young athletes with clarity, confidence, and connection.
